clusively upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chain saw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or condi-
tions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chain saw
handles, with both hands on the saw
and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
Do not let go of the chain saw
b) Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps pre-
vent unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chain saw in unex-
pected situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/
or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen-
ing and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to in-
creased kickback.
